At the headquarters of the new regiment outside Linfen City, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong was happy to rush in.

"Regiment Commander, Chiefs, Battalion Commander Rong has sent good news!"

"After the village guerrillas and militia were transformed into village protection teams, they took the initiative to attack, and all the landlords' armed forces in Fushan County were disarmed overnight."

"After statistics, nearly 300 rifles alone were captured, and more than 20 box guns ......"

Although Commander Chen on the side was very happy, he did not forget the tens of thousands of Jin Sui troops who had entered the southwest of Jin, and followed and asked.

"Chief of Staff Zhong, has the Jin Sui Army been dispatched!"

"There is certainly no problem for the guerrillas to change into village guards to fight those landlords, but they are no match for the army, and what I am most worried about now is that they will send out the army!"

"Dispatched!" Zhong Chenggong affirmed.

"However, those Jin Sui troops who were dispatched were basically scared away by some small means of the Rong battalion commander, and the Jin Sui army with three companies did not believe in evil, and they were directly beaten back by them, like a lost dog!"

The deputy commander-in-chief became interested and immediately asked: "To be specific, what method did this Rong battalion commander use to scare the Jin Suijun into returning in vain, and he also beat them into lost dogs!" ”

"Chief, this is the case!" Zhong Chenggong hurriedly answered!

"The troops scattered in our base area by the Jin Sui Army are basically stared at by our troops, and if they dispatch a company, we will dispatch a company!"

"As long as they dare to send troops into the village, we will enter the village!"

"You also know that no matter the firepower and strength, an infantry company of our new regiment can completely crush a company of the Jin Sui Army."

"In addition, the Jin Sui army also had a lot of scruples, and they all retreated as soon as they were frightened by us, leaving those landlords to stare at."

The deputy commander-in-chief nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask: "What's going on with those Jin Sui army companies that were beaten!" ”

Zhong Chenggong replied with a smile on his face: "The Jin Suijun of several companies do not believe in evil, and they insist on entering the village and forcibly asking the common people to return the land we have divided to those landlords!" ”

"The invalids have a better way to deal with them, directly let them take off our Eighth Route Army uniforms, and join the village protection team with weapons and weapons~"

"As a result, all the Jin Sui troops who entered the village were beaten up by our people!"

"Good way, and well played. To deal with this group of Jin Sui army, as long as you don't die, you can fight as much as you want! The deputy commander-in-chief shouted with joy.

Then he stared at Wang Ping and said: "The commander of the fourth battalion is surnamed Rong, just with the method he came up with to deal with Jin Suijun, he can be the regiment commander!" ”

After finishing speaking, he stared at Commander Chen and asked, "Do you see anything?" ”

"Strength, this is the best embodiment of strength!" Commander Chen replied with a serious face.

"The new regiment has the strength to make the Jin Sui army scruple in the southwest of Jin, so they will have a lot of scruples, and they are deeply afraid of causing an exchange of fire between the two armies."

"According to the current strength of the new regiment, once the two armies clash, they only need a short time to take out the troops of the Jin Sui army that have penetrated deep into their base area!"

"When the time comes, Yan Laoxi will really lose his wife and his soldiers, and he will suffer heavy losses!"

"Not surprisingly, this situation can continue for nearly half a year!"

"As long as the Jin Sui army that entered the southwest of Jin did not have the strength to comprehensively crush the new regiment, they would not dare to act rashly, and everything would be based on forbearance!"

"But after all, there are still more than 100,000 people in the Jin Sui army, and after having the southwest of Jin, Yan Laoxi will definitely further expand his troops and develop his strength!"

"Once their strength in the southwest of Jinxi surpasses that of the new regiment, even if there is no conflict between us and them, they will find a way to deliberately create a conflict and make the conflict more and more intense, it is best to have a large-scale exchange of fire, kill our troops in the southwest of Shanxi, or at least drive the new regiment out of the southwest of Shanxi!"

The deputy commander-in-chief nodded in affirmation: "Yes, in this troubled world, strength is what really makes opponents jealous!" ”

"Comrade Wang Ping, now that you rely on your strength, you can still press the Jin Sui Army that entered the southwest of Jin for the time being!"

"Once one day, the strength of the Jin Sui army in the southwest of Jin will far surpass yours, how do you plan to keep this base in the southwest of Jin!"

Wang Ping replied confidently: "Chief, I've really thought about this question!" ”

"I plan to take two steps, as long as these two steps are taken well, I dare to guarantee that within a year, the Jin Sui army will not dare to take the initiative to provoke us and exchange fire with us!"

The deputy commander-in-chief immediately became interested, stared at Wang Ping and asked, "Which two steps are there!" ”

Wang Ping replied with a serious face: "The first step is to ensure that our Eighth Route Army has absolute control over the entire base area, especially the rural areas!" ”

"The Jin Suijun has the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs in their hands to enter the southwest of Jin, they can, but they can only occupy the county seat!"

"Without the support of the common people, it would be impossible for them to get a grain from southwest Shanxi. And without a sufficient amount of food, their dream of massively expanding the army in a short period of time can only be shattered! ”

The deputy commander-in-chief nodded in affirmation: "This is a good way!" ”

"However, this can only stop for a while. And even if the Jin Sui army does not carry out a large-scale expansion, with their current strength, there should be no problem in gaining an overwhelming advantage over your new regiment! ”

"What are you going to do then?"

Wang Ping replied after a flash of hesitation on his face: "In the second step, I plan to hold a military parade in the southwest of Shanxi Province to show all our hard power, so that the Jin Sui Army, the government army, and the officials and masters in Chongqing know that our Eighth Route Army is no longer the Eighth Route Army of a few years ago, and it has angered us, even if we can't kill the opponent, we can beat them and lose both, so that they don't dare to attack us easily!" ”

"Military parade?" The deputy commander-in-chief's brow furrowed suddenly.

After a long time, he stared at Commander Chen and asked, "I remember that when our Eighth Route Army went out to fight against Japan, we had a military commander in Yan'an, and the boss and they reviewed the troops together!" ”

"It's been several years now, I've been fighting all the time, and I've never thought about parading again!"

"I still remember that military parade, in order to support the façade, I searched the whole army to find a few mountain guns, and all the shells added up to a hundred rounds!"

"Light machine guns, an average of less than one in a company, heavy machine guns, only a battalion can average one. As for mortars, it's good to get three of them for each regiment! ”

"Now that the troops have developed and the equipment is much better than before, it's time to hold a military parade to show the outside world the true strength of our Eighth Route Army and throw off the hat called Hanako Army!"

"Another purpose is what Wang Ping just said, to deter the opponent and use strength to make the opponent jealous of us!" ”

"However, this matter is too big for us to decide, and Yan'an must make a decision. However, in principle, I agree to hold a military parade, and it should be grand enough to show all the hard power of our Eighth Route Army! ”
